Across the UK, the Worm Moon is at its fullest on Tuesday 3 March at 11:38 GMT during the day.

However it will appear full overnight on both Monday and Tuesday.

It tends to look its most impressive when closest to the horizon at moonrise which occurs at different times across the UK, including:

17:42 in London

17:44 in Edinburgh

17:48 in Cardiff

17:50 in Belfast

Look to the east in the early evening sky.

For some parts of the world, the full Moon will be visible as it undergoes a total lunar eclipse, becoming what is known as a Blood Moon.

A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth moves directly between the Sun and Moon, casting a shadow onto the Moon’s surface. During this, the Moon can turn a rusty red colour, which is where it gets it nickname, the Blood Moon.

Those most likely to see the phenomenon include observers in parts of North America, South America, East Asia, and Australia.

The UK, however, will sadly miss out as the Moon will be below the horizon whilst the shadow is being cast.
